Katie Hale, originally from Houston, is a freelance crossword editor now living in London with her husband and 6- and 10-year-old kids. Scott Hogan is a patent attorney from Midland, Mich.

They met through Christina Iverson, a crossword editor at The Times who had previously collaborated with each of them. The theme idea for this puzzle was Katie's. The two laughed a lot in thinking up examples

Mike Hobin is a real estate agent and property developer in Chicago. While at home during the pandemic, he watched the 2006 documentary "Wordplay," about crosswords, and was inspired to try constructing one himself. Two years and two dozen submissions later, he's making his debut.

The seed of this puzzle was 116-Across. Then he thought of 24-Across … "and it really felt like I was on to something."

John Ewbank is a British science writer from Macclesfield, near Manchester. He regularly composes cryptic crosswords for The Times of London, but lately has been trying American-style crosswords.

This is his third for us. The theme is examples of anapodoton (an-uh-POH-duh-tahn), a rhetorical device you probably use yourself but never knew there was a name for. Well, now you'll know.

Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is an engineering manager for a mobile games company. Tracy Gray, of Hunt Valley, Md., owns and operates a lawn and landscaping business with her husband. They initially connected via Facebook. They shared the work of making this puzzle throughout, even in the end splitting the duty of writing the clues — one of them the Acrosses and the other the Downs.

David Karp, of Victoria, British Columbia, is a civil servant who works on economic policy for his provincial government.

This was his second attempt at building a puzzle around 119-Across, which is his favorite band. The first attempt, in a themeless grid, didn't work out because the fill wasn't flashy enough. But here the band's name sets up some clever thematic wordplay, which is even better … and you don't need to know anything about the band to get it.

Robert Ryan, of London, is an economist for the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority. He grew up in Ireland, where he used to sit on his father's knee and "help" him solve the cryptic crossword in the back of a television guide. He subscribed to The New York Times in 2020 for its election coverage and soon got hooked on the crossword, which he now does every day.

This is Robert's first puzzle for the paper.

Will Nediger, of London, Ontario, is a professional crossword constructor. This is his 46th puzzle for The Times.

A typical Sunday crossword has 140 answers, but this one has only 136, affording some longer "fill" outside of the theme. Occasionally, as here, constructors include things personal to them in their grids. Will writes, "As a parent of two young kids, 49-Down next to 50-Down really resonates with me."

Christina Iverson, of Ames, Iowa, is an assistant crossword editor for The New York Times. Sam Donaldson is a law professor at Georgia State University. They met at last year's American Crossword Puzzle Tournament and started brainstorming theme ideas.

This one started as a Thursday puzzle and grew into a Sunday when they had too many ideas to fit into a 15 x 15-square grid.

Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is an engineering manager for mobile games at SciPlay. He's been making crosswords for The Times since 2008.

He says this one is a special accomplishment, because the idea for it has been kicking around since 2010. He finally managed to find a consistent theme set he was happy with. While creating the puzzle he mumbled a lot. You'll soon see why.

Michael Schlossberg is a doctor at St. Charles Medical Center, in Bend, Ore., specializing in internal medicine. He started constructing crosswords in 2018 after reading the series "How to Make a Crossword Puzzle" on The New York Times's website.

This is his sixth puzzle for the paper and his first Sunday. The idea for it came to him after he heard the answer at 121-Across in conversation and thought, I bet there's a literature-themed puzzle in there.

John Martz is a cartoonist, illustrator and book designer in Toronto, Ontario, who specializes in picture books and graphic novels for kids.

This is his first published crossword. He found that constructing it was akin to composing a page of comics. "The processes share a similar choreography of boxes and words and visual design."

In the past he's created an end-of-year crossword for co-workers. This puzzle, coincidentally, grew out of last year's.

Ryan McCarty, of Washington, D.C., is a principal consulting manager at a firm specializing in data/analytics for federal clients. He is also a baritone in multiple vocal ensembles.

This is his 23rd crossword for The Times, and his first Sunday. All but one of these puzzles have been themeless, like today's. To construct it, Ryan started in the middle and built outward, weaving lots of fresh, lively vocabulary. Twenty of the answers have never appeared in a Times crossword before.

Laura Taylor Kinnel, of Newtown, Pa., teaches math and is the director of studies at a Friends boarding school near Philadelphia. This is her sixth crossword for The Times, most of them Sundays.

For her son's wedding last June, the couple asked Laura to construct a crossword for their outdoor reception. The result was printed on a large foam board and guests worked on it with dry erase markers. The completed puzzle now hangs in the newlyweds' living room.

Gustie Owens, of New York City, is a research assistant at MDRC, a nonprofit education, and social policy research organization. She has been solving crosswords since middle school. Once in history class, her teacher announced to her from across the room, "12-Across is ALLIGATOR." She realized that the puzzle she was doing was reflected in her glasses.

Last spring, while a senior at Barnard, she was a member of The Times's first Diverse Crossword Construction Fellowship program. This is her first puzzle in the paper.

Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a creative lead at the San Francisco-based 1-Down. (Solve the puzzle to find out who!) He's been constructing crosswords for The Times for two years.

This one started with the answers at 85- and 86- Down and branched out, literally, from there. Recently Adam released Anigrams, a free daily online word game that I find almost as addictive as Wordle. — W.S.

Joe Deeney, of Melrose, Mass., is a supply chain director for Philips, a health technology company based in Amsterdam. He's been solving crosswords for as long as he can remember.

In 2015 he was solving one he wasn't particularly fond of and thought, "I can do better than that!" This is Joe's 14th Times crossword and his first Sunday. He's now had a puzzle published on every day of the week — a personal goal.

Sam Donaldson is a law professor at Georgia State University, teaching Property to first-year students and Federal Income Tax and Trusts & Estates to upper-division ones. He's been making crosswords for The Times since 2008. Typically his grids have lots of lively vocabulary.

Sam writes, "This is one of those puzzles where solvers might not realize the theme until after they're done, so I wanted the process of getting to the finish line to be as enjoyable as possible."

Michael Lieberman, of Washington, D.C., is an attorney at Fairmark Partners LLP, a consumer-protection firm. This is his ninth Times crossword in two years. It started when the Billy Joel title "We Didn't Start the Fire" morphed in his head into "ennui didn't start the fire." That didn't make much sense, but it did make him laugh. He went searching for other such transformations to build a puzzle around.

Daniel Bodily, of Woodbury, Minn., is a robotics research engineer. Jeff Chen, of Seattle, is a professional writer and crossword constructor. Previously they collaborated on the Lincoln Memorial-themed puzzle that appeared in May.

The idea for this one was Dan's and started with 63-Across. He pondered the idea for months before reaching out to Jeff. A slew of attempts at construction ensued. "It's really fun to see where the dust settles," Dan says, "after raw ideas are filtered through the constraints of the dictionary and the grid."

Paolo Pasco is a recent Harvard graduate, now working in data science in San Diego. He's been making puzzles for The Times since he was 15. His job interview was partly about crosswords and included a programming problem to find words Boggle-style in a grid. How lucky was that? He says he thought of this puzzle's theme during a class back in April and fleshed it out while walking back to his dorm.

Kathy Bloomer, of Seattle, is a retired hospital pediatrician. Constructing crosswords developed out of her love for solving Diagramless puzzles, which involve a similar sort of logic. This is her second Times crossword, after her debut in 2018.

She has had lots of attempts that didn't quite make it. Kathy jokes, "I am working on a book I am going to call ‘Best Puzzles Rejected by The New York Times.'"

Meghan Morris is an appellate public defender in Denver, where she lives with her partner and twin kindergarteners. She got into crosswords at the University of North Carolina, where she did them in The Daily Tar Heel.

"I can't promise that I never worked on a crossword in class." She adds, "My college roommate recently reminded me that she and I would bemoan when the crossword was on the fold, because then it was hard to do discreetly."

Katie Hale, originally from Houston, is now a stay-at-home mom in London. This is her fifth Sunday Times crossword since 2021.

She works on puzzles when her girls, 6 and 9, are in school or after they've gone to bed. "I like to try and come up with themes during times when I might otherwise be mindlessly staring at my phone, like on the bus. I think the moments when I'm out in the world, hearing other people talk, but not directly to me, are the best times to find inspiration."

Tina Labadie lives in London, Ontario. This is her first New York Times crossword. It has one of my favorite kinds of themes — one offering many different "ahas." The example at 118-Across, at the bottom of the puzzle, is a little different from the others, like the kicker of a joke.

As a construction fillip, every letter in the alphabet is used at least once in the completed grid.

Greg Slovacek is a software engineer from San Francisco. This is his first published crossword. He finds puzzlemaking similar in a way to programming — both involve problem-solving within constraints.

He enjoys puzzles that have layers to be uncovered, which is certainly true of today's.

Scott Hogan is making his New York Times debut with this puzzle, after many submissions. He is a patent attorney from Midland, Mich. Christina Iverson is a crossword constructor and editor from Ames, Iowa. They met through the Cruciverb Facebook page, a forum for crossword constructors.

Scott says he takes inspiration from the lyric of "Movin' On Up," the theme song from "The Jeffersons" — "It took a whole lotta tryin', just to get up that hill.'"

Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is a software engineer who makes mobile games. He's been constructing crosswords for The Times since 2007, specializing in unusual themes often with visual elements. The idea for this one occurred to him last fall while he was stopped at a traffic light. It took him several months, off and on, to work out all the elements.

This is Jeremy's 15th Sunday crossword and 22nd Times puzzle overall.

He says, "I enjoy architecturally challenging constructions — like this puzzle, which was tricky to create, because the theme content had to be placed in a specific order."

Christina Iverson, of Ames, Iowa, is the assistant crossword editor for The Los Angeles Times. Katie Hale is a stay-at-home mom in London, England.

The idea for this puzzle started with Katie. She had a few minutes to kill while waiting for an online course to start. As she stared at a copy of "The Great Gatsby," the phrase THROW A FITZGERALD popped into her head. She laughed … and started adding syllables to other authors' names. Some of the results are shown here. This is Christina's and Katie's third Sunday collaboration for The Times.

David, Karen, and Paul Steinberg live in Pacific Grove, Calif. David is the puzzles and games editor for the Andrews McMeel Universal media company. Karen and Paul are his parents — also longtime puzzle enthusiasts.

The idea for this one was Paul's. David wrote a program to generate possible theme entries. When the standard 21 x 21-square grid couldn't be made to work for the theme, Karen suggested changing the grid size, which was successful.

Karen and David did the fill and Paul look the lead on the clues. This is the Times's first all-family crossword collaboration.
